Why does our Body do that?

Posted by Varumana- Usha

Hi friends,


         Today let me discuss with you an important topic..


                 Whether uncomfortable, embarrassing or just plain weird, there are some pretty funky things that our bodies do. Curious about the causes of such reactions as yawns, sneezes and eye twitches, we spoke with Eric Plasker, DC, author of The 100 Year Lifestyle, to get the real scoop.

       Read on to discover the common reasons for peculiar bodily functions.. Here are few:

  • Yawns:
               If your body is low on oxygen, your mouth opens wide and tries to suck more in. Yawning is a way to regulate the amount of carbon dioxide and oxygen in your blood. Unfortunately, yawns are nearly impossible to stifle.

  •    Eye Twitches:
               Serious eye twitches can be a symptom of neurological disorders, but often there is a more mundane explanation. Common causes for eye twitches include stress, lack of sleep, extended staring or eye strain. Before you get frantic, try reducing your stress level, cutting back on caffeine and catching up on sleep.

  • Sneeze:
                Sneezes happen when your body is trying to expel an irritant from the nasal cavity. If you have allergies, pollen or pet dander is usually to blame. If you have a cold, your body makes mucus to trap the virus, and sneezing helps force it (and the sickness) out of your body. An over-the-counter allergy or cold medicine helps suppress your reaction to allergens or reduce mucus production, which should prevent sneezing fits.

  • Cough:
               A cough is another mechanism your body uses to get rid of irritants. There are special cells along your air passage, says Dr. Plasker, that recognize irritants and force them out. Common colds, sinus infections and pneumonia all increase your body’s mucus production, which triggers coughing.

              Smoking and asthma also tend to irritate the cells. To help cut down on chronic coughing, exercise regularly and practice good posture to keep your air passage open.

DO U HATE SOMEONE???

Posted by Varumana- Usha

Hi friends,

        Here is a Nice story with a good moral. Please go through it.. 


              A kindergarten teacher has decided to let her class play a game.The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.

           So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3 while some up to 5 potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry with them the potatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go (even to the toilet) for 1 week.

          Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten potatoes. Besides, those having 5 potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended....

          The teacher asked: "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for 1 week?". The children let out their frustrations and started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.

          Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: "This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred for somebody inside your heart. The stench of hatred will contaminate your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. 


         If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the stench of hatred in your heart for your lifetime???"

Moral of the story:

          Throw away any hatred for anyone from your heart so that you will not carry sins for a lifetime.
 
            Forgiving others is the best attitude to take!


                            True love is not loving a perfect person
                            but loving an imperfect person perfectly!!

Skills to Learn for a Job!!

Posted by Varumana- Usha

Hi friends,


            It is very hard to stand out from the growing pile of resumes in today’s tough job market. If you’re unemployed, consider learning a new skill to gain an advantage.

  1. First, look at your strengths to see how those might cross over into other fields or careers
  2. Then decide what other skills you need to succeed in that area and work on developing them 

           Here are five skills that might give you an advantage over other job applicants:

1. Project management:

             If you’re unemployed and have management experience, consider getting certified in project management. The Project Management Institute certifies people with at least three years of experience in the field or 35 hours of related education.

2. Human resources:

           The Society for Human Resource Management offers courses on conflict resolution, recruiting and salary analysis. The trade organization also offers a certification exam that involves 24 to 36 hours of classroom instruction.

3. Search engine optimization:

             Web developers rely on “search engine optimization,” strategies designed to help sites rank higher in searches, to boost traffic to their pages. As more people find information through Google and Yahoo , search engine optimization, or SEO, has become an important marketing skill.

4. Public speaking:

              Consider polishing your presentation skills by joining your local chapter of Toastmasters International. The organization brings together groups of 20 people or fewer, who meet weekly to practice speeches and get feedback.

5. LEED Certification:

       Want to get ahead in real estate or construction? 
           Applicants must learn about sustainable building and energy and water management to become certified.


          Home sellers hire LEED-certified real estate agents to help them value eco-friendly improvements they’ve made. LEED-certified builders are tapping into demand for green development.

Life is too Short! BE HAPPY!!

Posted by Varumana- Usha

Hi friends,


               Many of us are not living our life happily. If we think of it once,we will realize that we had missed the happiest moments in our life which we wont get back again.. So,Be happy,Enjoy each and every moment with your friends..

         The  pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime! It is never too late to become what you  might have been.

            Life  is too short to wake up with regrets.. So love the people who  treat  you right.. Forget about the ones who don't.  Believe  everything  happens for a reason. If you get a second  chance, grab it with both hands. If it  changes your life, let it. Nobody  said  life would be easy, they just promised it would  be worth it.

Friends are like  balloons;

       Once you let them go, you might  not get them back. Sometimes we  get so busy  with our own lives and problems that we may  not even notice that we've let them fly  away. Sometimes we  are  so caught up in who's right and who's wrong  that we forget what's  right  and wrong.. Sometimes we just don't realize  what real friendship  means  until it is too late.
